The old lady nodded. "That couple was indeed a bit greedy, but it's understandable. In years of famine, everyone wants to save some things just in case."
"I said thirty taels of silver, plus fifty catties of bear meat, three pheasants, and one hundred eggs. My Dawei's facial injuries have also been healed. As long as Xiaohua marries into our family, we will build a new house for the young couple."
Upon hearing this, they immediately agreed, as if afraid someone would snatch it away. "With Dawei's looks, there would definitely be people fighting over him in the village!"
Qin laughed heartily, "Our family is rich now, it's so great! We don't have to suffer any more humiliation. I knew it! My Dawei is so handsome, there must be people fighting over him."
Zhou Dawei's lips trembled, as if all the strange looks and disdain he had endured for so long were like a dream.
"Our family is rich thanks to Sisi's good fortune. Otherwise, we would never have encountered such a thing in our lifetimes: finding Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain and selling it for a thousand taels of silver."
The old lady was overjoyed and hugged Sisi tightly, kissing her repeatedly.
"Dawei, you'll have to thank Sisi properly when you and Xiaohua get married."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dawei stood up, his eyes red and looking at Long Sisi with utmost sincerity, and said, "Sisi, thank you, brother."
If it weren't for Sisi, his face wouldn't be better.
He also didn't have the money to salvage the engagement.
All of this is thanks to Sisi.
"It's okay, big brother, we're family." Long Sisi smiled, showing her little teeth.
Family members should help each other!
Secondly, Qin took Zhou Dawei to the Zhang family to meet him.
The two families quickly agreed on a date, and the wedding will take place on the fifth day of next month.
People are in high spirits when they have good news, and Qin generously gave Zhou Dawei one hundred taels of silver so that he could build two sturdy and spacious brick houses next to the Zhou family's house.
Thinking that after the two got married, they would have Dawei lease a few plots of land, and if he worked hard, he could support his family.
Meanwhile, in Yangcheng's You family mansion.
Madam was having her meal, but the weather had been getting hotter these past few days, and she had lost her appetite.
"Madam, please have some more. You only ate some cheese this morning, and now you've eaten a few green vegetables. Your body can't take it!" the maid Lan'er advised.
A hint of annoyance appeared on Rong's face. She waved her hand and said, "No need, I can't eat."
Lan'er couldn't persuade her any further, so she had the servants remove the things.
She helped You Rong to the couch, took a palm-leaf fan and gently fanned her. After a long while, she carefully asked, "Madam, will you still have Doctor Li come to take your pulse today?"
With her eyes closed, You Rong said somewhat dejectedly, "No need. Didn't we take her pulse yesterday? Since we didn't detect any pregnancy, so be it. What difference would a day or two make?"
That's true.
Lan'er shut her mouth.
Seeing that she was slowly falling into a deep sleep, he got up to prepare to go to the small kitchen to brew the medicine.
You Rong didn't sleep for long. It was hot, and she felt uncomfortable with her neck resting on her jade arm. In addition, she was in a bad mood, so she simply didn't sleep.
She got up and rubbed her sore arm, then suddenly noticed the two delicate little peanuts on her wrist.
Rong vaguely recalled the words spoken by that exquisitely beautiful little child at the pharmacy that day.
She said the baby would arrive in three days.
Thinking about it carefully, today is the third day.
Rong suddenly had a thought, what if...
Her heart was pounding. "Lan'er, Lan'er!"
Lan'er rushed over, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Quickly, go and fetch Doctor Li; I need to take your pulse."
Although Lan'er didn't understand why the madam had suddenly changed her mind, she still obediently invited Doctor Li.
"Thank you for your help, Dr. Li."
Rong nervously extended her wrist.
"Madam, you flatter me." Doctor Li took her pulse.
She stared intently at his face, afraid of missing even the slightest expression.
"Madam, this..."
Rong could see with his naked eye that Dr. Li's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
She was overjoyed, "Dr. Li, how is it?"
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam! You are pregnant!"
Rong was so happy that her vision blurred. Before she could even open her mouth, Doctor Li said again, "Congratulations, Madam! You are carrying twins, which is a very rare occurrence!"
"What?"
Rong was stunned.
With tears in her eyes, Lan'er said, "Madam, you are pregnant, and with twins no less! Congratulations, Madam! After all these years, you've finally made it through!"
Yes, after so many years of indifference and disdain, she's finally gotten what she deserved!
"It was that little girl, Lan'er, it was that little girl who said it." You Rong grabbed Lan'er's shoulders suddenly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"That little girl gave me a peanut-shaped red string and said the baby would come in three days. Today is the third day, and the baby wasn't here yesterday. Lan'er, she's a magical baby!"
Lan'er carefully stroked it, breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was exactly what that little guy had said.
They said they would come on the third day, and they came on the third day exactly as promised, not a day off.
"Lan'er, quickly prepare the car, I need to go find that little baby!"
......
After Zhuang Rongrong's mother's funeral was over, she sat blankly in the ruins, clutching a red cloth bundle. The village chief stood beside her and said, "Rongrong, although your mother is gone, she would definitely want you to live well. You must be strong and live on!"
To live on with strength?
Zhuang Rongrong's eyes grew even darker. She was determined to live on and avenge her mother!
"Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, I just didn't react for a moment."
Her voice was so hoarse that even the village chief couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The child is only five years old and has no parents.
"Good child, take good care of yourself. Your uncle will ask around and find you a good family to take you in. Don't worry, come to your uncle's house for dinner tonight."
I'll talk to her about praying for rain during dinner tonight.
Zhuang Rongrong shook her head, "No need, Uncle, I want to go to Grandma Zhou's house today."
"That's fine too." The village chief knew that the two families had always had a good relationship. "I'll ask the Zhou family if they'd be willing to adopt you."
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief."
"It's alright, Rongrong. We can't delay the rain-seeking ceremony. The wheat we planted in our village this year hasn't even sprouted yet."
Zhuang Rongrong's eyes flickered. "I understand, Village Chief. You can rest assured and prepare. We'll start praying for rain tomorrow."
Zhou Dawei is back; he is blessed with good fortune, and his luck will last even longer.
They are the perfect person to assist her in praying for rain!
After two perilous experiences, Long Sisi finally remembered to give the blackbird a name.
Unfortunately, she racked her brains but couldn't come up with a good name.
So they had no choice but to take the black bird and go find the Great Demon King.
"Hey, Wu Guoguo, let's give Blackbird a name, shall we?"
Xie Yan was lounging on the couch reading a book when she heard this. She glanced over and said indifferently, "It's black and ugly, really unsightly. Sisi, it's better to throw away this kind of bird."
The blackbird bristled: "Aaaaah, you wretched human brat, how dare you!"
